GA-1120 on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS

The GA-1120 supports printing over a NetWare 5.x network running either the
TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the GA-1120 takes
advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing,
the GA-1120 supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS
(Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see

Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active

cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator
privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.
NDPS is not like earlier queue-based versions of NetWare printing. Instead, you use an
NDPS Manager and a Printer Agent, which control the tasks previously handled by a
print queue, print server, and spooler. You can also make the printer driver available for
clients to download from Windows 9x/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP
computers.
During GA-1120 Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for
communication between the GA-1120 and network servers. Frame type refers to the
format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when the
NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.
Tips for experts—NetWare 5.x networks
Setting up the GA-1120 in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other
PostScript printer on the network. Refer to the following information when setting up
the GA-1120 in such an environment:
• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the GA-1120 and for any workstations that
will print to it or run Fiery utilities.
• In GA-1120 Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address for GA-1120. You can enter these manually or use DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP
protocols to assign the addresses dynamically.
• Bidirectional communication features in NDPS are not supported on the GA-1120.
